Shedeur Sanders is headed to the Pro Bowl.
The Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback was added to the Pro Bowl as a replacement, according to Jordan Schultz.
Sanders would be the first fifth-round pick to make a Pro Bowl in his rookie year since Puka Nacua did so with the Los Angeles Rams.

The quarterbacks going to the Pro Bowl were Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers and Drake Maye of the New England Patriots outside the AFC. With Maye set to play in Super Bowl LX after defeating the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game, a replacement was necessary.
Sanders didn’t start the year with the Browns, but he made a big impression in the second half, getting the nod in the remaining seven games of the season and going 3-4 in that span.
He completed 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions in eight total games.

Sanders was the first Browns quarterback to win his first career start since 1995, a 24-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on the road. While it wasn’t the best scoring performance, Sanders did show improvement as he became more acclimated to his new starting role.
Still, Sanders will look to improve on his first real NFL experience, especially with his 10 interceptions leading the NFL over the final eight weeks of the season.

The Browns, however, will need to continue building a better roster.
While going to a Pro Bowl is always a huge accomplishment, Sanders knows there’s nothing solidified for his role in 2026. Browns general manager Andrew Berry told reporters after the season that he won’t commit to Sanders or any other quarterback.
“We’re going to do our job in the quarterback market,” Berry said. “It’s too important a position and it’s something that has to be solidified.”

Before the Browns overhaul the roster, they need to hire a new head coach after firing Kevin Stefanski, who quickly found a new position as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. He was the second head coaching candidate off the board this wild offseason after John Harbaugh joined the New York Giants.
